BUZZARDS BAY – A three-car accident that sent two people to the hospital this morning is being investigated as a possible drunk driving crash.

At about 8:30 a.m., James Boynton Jr., 43, of Bourne, was driving on Scenic Highway near Nightingale Pond Road when he turned into oncoming traffic and hit another car, driven by Brian Baumgaertel, 25, of Schenectady, NY.

The impact sent Baumgaertel’s car into another vehicle, driven by Donna Vella, 43, of Bourne.

Boynton was cited in connection with the crash, and alcohol is being investigated as a factor, Woodside said.

Baumgaertel was taken to Toby Hospital in Wareham, and Boynton to Jordan Hospital in Plymouth. Both men had apparently minor injuries, Woodside said.
